Pinpointing the Photocatalytic Bottleneck with Onset Intensity for Temperature Dependence

Caption

By analyzing the reaction rates of photocatalysts like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide under varying temperatures and light intensities, researchers distinguish whether the rate-limiting step is charge supply or surface charge transfer—providing a powerful tool for targeted photocatalyst design.
